Re: REVIEW: Danase Dirt Dropper (AG should get these)
We actually had one of those in our office last month for review, thing about them is you have to screw a hole in your bucket to mount it.

That has proven to be a plus in my case. It keeps the guard in the bottom of the bucket and allows you to rub your media against it without using one hand to hold it still. I know we all take good care of our cars, but I'm not too sentimental about my buckets

Re: REVIEW: Danase Dirt Dropper (AG should get these)
I bought one on the basis of the review and like it a lot - money well spent. The hole in the bucket was near the top and was zero trouble. A tiny rubber washer was even included, although not necessary unless you fill your 5 gallon buckets to the rim.
Also, continued great service from Bob.

yeah, that's too much of a hassle. a grit guard and one of these should do...

Re: REVIEW: Danase Dirt Dropper (AG should get these)
I'm no engineer but I'm guessing the fins of the GG are crucial since (as you mentioned) it prevents the grime from swirling up into the clean water. The fins creating the stagnant portion of the wash water at the bottom to allow for the grit to settle and stay at the bottom seems important.

They might be crucial for the Grit Guard, but I haven't found that to be the case with the Dirt Dropper.
With the GG, you induce swirling water, since that's the only way you can get your mit clean. Given that many people swirl/scrape their mits against the grit guard itself, the mit comes pretty close to the dirt at the bottom.
With the Dirt Dropper, the motion is more up and down against the washboard, and the mit doesn't come close to the bottom.
I've thought about zip-tying a piece of milk jug plastic between the legs of the Dirt Dropper to add fins, but it really seems superfluous in this case.

Here's a sweet idea: what about a bucket with a washboard-textured surface on it's inside surface? That plus a GG = perfection!

I found it to be about 3 on a 1-10 scale, with 10 being something else really easy...
Then again, I did have to employ an electric drill for the task.
